“Police assigned to the New York Police Department Shea Stadium Detail busted a 36- year-old Mets fan on May 20 after the reveler bit two officers who were trying to restrain him.

Police sources said investigators have not been able to determine why Mark Lindsay began cursing at a TV camera operator in the stadium at about 10:15 p.m., during the final game of the subway series between the Mets and the Yankees.

Authorities claimed Lindsay became so unruly that he was escorted outside the stadium by a Shea security supervisor. Once outside, Lindsay began swinging at the supervisor and kicking him. When the two police officers arrived at the scene and tried to cuff Lindsay he bit them.”

Zito pitched a 3–0 shutout, and allowed only 6 hits (one of them by Glavine).

Most of the Met hitters were off-balance all night, unable to figure out that slow, giant curve. Zito struck out 7, and may have been helped during the night with a few generous calls by home plate umpire Bob Davidson.

Guillermo Mota made his 2007 debut last night and pitched 2 solid innings. He also held a press conference before the game and fielded every questions sent his way regarding his 50–game suspension for taking performance enhancing drugs. The word from Loge13 attendees last night was that Mota was treated OK by the crowd and got a good ovation as he left the field.

Carlos is a class act. Zito frustrated Delgado last night but it looks like he has come out of his slump. As soon as Carlos (and Wright) started hitting just a bit, the Mets were able to put some distance between themselves and the Braves.

However, someone went to alot of trouble to produce this montage of Barry Bonds being heckled at Shea last season. You owe it to yourself to watch, out of respect for the effort.

How often do you see a troop of cherubic girl scouts taunt and abuse a baseball player? How sweet. Their troop masters must be so proud.

The Mets took two out of three from the Giants earlier this month. Loge13 will be at the game Thursday and we hope to see Bonds play. And not see a bunch of yahoos jeering. But we're sure we'll be disappointed.

Queens comedian - really Queens artist - DrinkingWithBob (a.k.a, Bob Thompson) drove around the purgatory that is "The Iron Triangle" in Willets Point, across the street from Shea, and documented the pathetic conditions of that neighborhood. Take 3 minutes and 31 seconds to enjoy the ramble:

The decades-long struggle between the small business owners of this neighborhood and the city government have been documented over the years. This little clip drives the viewer right up to the source of the problem, ultimately naming names.
